Sometimes, life needs a jumpstart, but this time around it was my beater Civic that needed one…AGAIN. Surprisingly though, it wasn’t me that was stranded in the parking lot on campus. Finally, it was time that I put my jumpstarting expertise to test after the many, many times that I have left the lights on in my car over the past year and a half.

Otherwise, the security system prevents the car from starting up even though your batteries might be charged.
